LOTW full synchronize help

[EA3GCV]

Hello Neil,

I guess your credited DXCC confirmations were made because in the past you sent the QSL cards to the DXCC Desk to credit them to the DXCC program. These credits counts for your DXCC program but they are not LoTW confirmations. Unfortunately the "DXCC QSL Download" ADIF file doesn't provide a good listing for these credits because of the important lack of information: old credits have a fixed date which doesn't correspond with the real QSO date. Most of them dated on January 1st, no QSo Time and even no Mode. This is specially important for digital modes where DATA is set. So doing an automatic way to handle these credits are useless because it's not possible to find an exact match due to the important lack of information. Of course I'm talking about of PREVIOUSLY having these QSO entered in the logbook. Importing these credits as QSO are also impossible because of the wrong date, no mode and no QSO time. A lot of manual actions are needed.

I suggest you to find these QSL cards then enter manually these QSOs in Swisslog. I know it's a huge work, but I don't know of an automatic way of entering QSO data from QSL cards except entering manually.
